Spyware Warrior

trace

Hi
Dose anyone know any other free program than outlook express to use for emails.
I tryed to use foxmail but when i wanted to send mail it always says error even though im sure i set up my server details correct.
I still couldnt send or recive mail.
Most programs now you have to pay for and if they are free they have spyware on them.
If anyone knows any more could you let me know
Thanks

It's available at www.mozilla.org under the name Mozilla Thunderbird. Another alternative while you are there is the Mozilla web browser suite, it includes a mail client and web page editor. All of the Mozilla products have less problems with viruses, spyware, etc., than Windows components do.

Other mail clients are included with the Netscape browser and the Opera Browser, both free (Opera free version has a banner ad but is free of spyware). www.netscape.com and www.opera.com .

What about incredimail ? or as a web based alternative to hotmail and yahoo, may I suggest Fastmail. It has a range of features to suit all needs including a free service with a decent limit on size for the average user.

Oh tyke i think maybe you need to read a vew more posts on the forum, incredimail is a nice program to use but a real nasty one to get rid of once youve got it just ask anyone whose had it includeing me and trace we are still trying to get rid of the remnants of it now. Mad

Well trace i guess we can try the thunderbird after all wawadave has been good with other advise so i dont see that this will be any different Smile

I run Thunderbird behind Mailwasher. If you need help on setting up that combination, post back here.
wawadave gave you good advice.
